Bel-Aire (Ray Bryant)
Another great Ray Bryant head which challenges you to fly over your instrument. A must for any trumpet players who think they can play anything.
Gayle’s Groove (Mickey Bass)
An interesting ten-measure followed by fourteen-measure form. Originally recorded in a two horn quintet format so second part editions are also available.
T.H.E. Blues (Steve Davis)
An unusual form: 15 measure blues in a challenging key (A-flat minor).
Ka-Link (Philly Joe Jones)
It starts out as a cute Latin blues head and develops into a larger AABCAD format, with alternations from Latin to swing. Soloing on the record was just blues choruses. The expanded head format can open you up to exploring different soloist formats.
Listen To Mister Jones (Philly Joe Jones / Rachel Gould) [vocal]
If you’re a vocalist, and have a drummer you want to feature, this is for you. It’s the lyric version of Ka-Link, with Rachel’s complete track and an accompaniment-only track (MP3).
other new vocal titles:
Do You Feel What I Feel? (Rachel Gould) [vocal]
A beautiful, evocative exploration recorded by a voice/bass duo.
He’s A Man (Curtis Fuller / Judy Niemack) [vocal]
Judy’s lyric to the Fuller instrumental Sagittarius explains what that Zodiac sign means in a delightful way. Judy’s own performance, as well as an accompaniment-only MP3, are available.
Also, Judy’s new publication, Hear It and Sing It: Exploring the Blues is now in print and can be purchased from Hal Leonard and Amazon.com. Some really great new blues to sing! Hear It and Sing It! is a fun and effective method.
I’ll Blame It On The Samba (Ray Bryant / Tina May) [vocal]
Tina May’s lyric to Ray’s Samba Elegante, it’s a fun song to sing. Tina’s recording, with Ray Bryant himself on piano, and the accompaniment-only MP3 are available.
Just A Little Boy (Sergio Mihanovich) [vocal]
A beautiful ballad with a charming lyric. Simple and easy to customize to your own style. Gloria Cooper’s recording as well as an accompaniment-only version are available.
Miracle Of Spring (Meredith d’Ambrosio) [vocal]
A lyrical melody full of Meredith’s optimism. A vocal transcription of Meredith’s interpretation, plus an accompaniment-only MP3 track.
